Michael Doherty was someone who had the ability to light up any room merely with his presence.
The Duke community suffered a tragic loss when rising junior Michael Doherty's body was found Saturday afternoon.
I will spend my life learning how to be a better activist, and by no means have I found the best way to be one.
Well, if you overlook the historic and systemic destabilization of African-American communities in our country pre and post Reconstruction, then by those terms, and by a very warped sense of reality, HBCUs are “unconstitutional."
As Vice President for Student Affairs, I’m proud to work with many people who serve students in various ways. Our work covers health care needs, support for student programming, and response to a broad array of incidents and crisis.
We are working with Duke’s Center for Advanced Hindsight to develop interventions geared specifically to the first 90 days of school, when a disproportionate number of assaults occur.
Dr. Velasquez Nimatuj is exactly the type of professor that Duke typically prides itself on employing.
It is time for Duke University to create a Native and Indigenous Studies Certificate.
As a 1967 Law School graduate, I was appalled at the ordeal Jane Doe was put through, so gratuitously and unnecessarily, by the Office of Student Conduct.
Every day as I pass the new Student Health Center, I stare at the beautiful Steinway and Sons grand piano in the atrium that costs at least $60,000. I see posters for making your own personal Aromatherapy. I walk through the stunning, yet over-the-top, West Union dining hall.
Each memory feels distinct yet somehow still able to influence me at every turn.
An upheaval of the status quo is inevitable, and The Chronicle is the first institution to crumble.
Our allocation of resources says something about our priorities.
The first time I tried to write an article for The Chronicle, then-sports editor Dan Carp placed the cursor above my entire story—a riveting men’s golf preview—hit “enter” five or six times, and abruptly said, “How about we start over?”
During my four years with The Chronicle, I’ve gotten used to doing tasks that might make others uneasy.
This editorial, written by the co-chairs, is dedicated to Leonard Giarrano IV (Class of 2017), former chair of the editorial board and the guiding voice for much of our meetings.
One particularly late night in The Chronicle’s office early in the spring of my junior year, I turned to my friend Amrith, then the editor-in-chief, and asked what him what he thought about balance.
Trask and Roy Williams meet one last time to plan UNC and the Association of Degenerate Privilege’s final assault on West Campus and to seize Cameron Indoor Stadium.
So, as I wrap up this column and say farewell to Duke, I urge those reading to consider what sort of future they want for themselves.
I had been looking forward to seeing the article “School vs. sports: Which really comes first for Duke athletes?”.
